Gozo Travel Guide

Malta's little sister island of Gozo invites visitors to put on
their walking shoes. Life here moves at a leisurely pace, its
rhythms dictated by the seasons, with a rugged landscape and
beautiful coastline just crying out for exploration. Inland the
small island is covered with flowering herbs and hardy
Mediterranean crops, and in summer it is fragrant with oleander,
bougainvillea and geranium. The island has some picturesque rock
formations, some fascinating caves, and lovely beaches.

Gozo is known for having some of the Mediterranean's best
snorkelling and scuba diving sites, but it is also a place of myth
and legend, believed to be the Calypso isle of Homer's Odyssey. The
countryside is dotted with old stone farmhouses and Baroque
churches, as well as some prehistoric temples and other historic
sites of importance. The commercial centre of the island, Victoria,
has a sleepy 17th-century feel. The town has many buildings of
historical and cultural interest, mostly situated inside the
Citadel, the ancient fortified part of the town. In the Citadel
tourists can enjoy numerous museums and wonderful views of the
entire island. Gozo is a quiet, ancient and atmospheric tourist
destination which can be reached from Malta's Grand Harbour by
ferry in about 20 minutes.
